Here is one of my favorite summertime salads. Steamed shrimp are mixed with macaroni, vegetables, and fresh summer tomatoes to make this delicious salad. It is given a little spicy kick with the use of cocktail sauce (made with horseradish), our Seafood Rub and our Lemon Pepper blend. This is a perfect salad to serve on those hot summer evenings - so refreshing, and oh-so satisfying. Enjoy!

3 cups cooked, macaroni

1 tsp Lemon Pepper
1/2 tsp Celery Salt
1 Tblspn Lemon Juice

In a separate bowl, make the sauce by mixing together the mayonnaise, ranch dressing, cocktail sauce, spices, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce.
